A process and a reactor for the thermal after-treatment of cleavage product from the acid-catalyzed cleavage of cumene hydroperoxide

摘要

Heat treatment of a product mixture from the acid-catalyzed decomposition of cumene hydroperoxide (CHP) into phenol and acetone comprises heating the product mixture in a reactor using heat generated by at least one exothermic reaction taking place in the reactor. Heat treatment of a product mixture from the acid-catalyzed decomposition of cumene hydroperoxide (CHP) into phenol and acetone comprises heating the product mixture in a reactor using heat generated by at least one exothermic reaction taking place in the reactor. An Independent claim is also included for a reactor for producing phenol and acetone by the acid-catalyzed decomposition of CHP, comprising at least one zone with a device for removing heat and at least one zone exhibiting a flow pipe characteristic (not defined).
